How can I use shelving in my basement?

Basement Shelving

A lot of people miss the boat with in home shelving and they pay the price with disorganized homes.

Take your basement for instance. The basement is a great space for storage and if you don't have uniform storage containers, shelving is the next best bet. By purchasing shelving made of a moisture resistant, composite material, you won't have any problems with corroding and you keep your stuff off the basement floor.

If you are using cardboard to store anything precious - this is *key* to keeping your things safe. You can get utility shelving in stackable heights so you can conform it to the space you have and get your shelving straight to the ceiling. Don't be afraid to bolt your shelves to your basement walls, especially if you live in an earthquake region.
